Experimental Characterization of Flexible and Soft Actuators for Rehabilitation and Assistive Devices Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Robotic devices applied to a rehabilitation context require a deeper understanding of their actuators to delimit the device’s capabilities, improve the control strategies, and enhance the human–robot interaction. This way, experimental characterizations have allowed estimating these aspects, either employing test bench structures or involving the user during the process. In terms of pneumatic actuators, the goal of the experimental ...
